GLOBAL DEBUT OF JURASSIC INVASION AT SEA LIFE BRIGHTON

Sea Life Brighton has been transformed with
the global debut of its interactive attraction
Jurassic Seas.
Aquatic dinosaurs and ancient creatures have
descended on the aquarium with state-of-theart technology tanks providing the opportunity
to get up close and personal with them.
Using cutting-edge motion sensor technology,
visitors are invited to feed the deadly
Plesiosaurus, test the patience of the beastly
Liopluradon and examine the lethal teeth of the
mighty Megalodon.

This world-first installation features nine
interactive activities with the digital aquatic
dinosaurs, real-life Jurassic creatures including
the Nautilus and Cuttlefish, themed activities
such as Dino Twister and Design a Dino, and
the opportunity to unearth real fossils from the
Jurassic period.
Commenting on the new Jurassic Seas
installation, Sea Life Brighton manager Max
Leviston said: “We are thrilled to be the first
aquarium in the world to host Jurassic Seas –
and we are certain that visitors will share our
enthusiasm as soon as they step foot in the
installation!

“Jurassic Seas will give visitors the chance to
explore the seas, from their history thousands
of years ago through to today. With so much to
see, hear, touch and do, there truly is something
to entertain and excite visitors of all ages and
interests.”
Sea Life Brighton is open every day from
10am–5pm (last admission 1 hour before),
except Christmas Day. Tickets are priced from
£9.95 per person online.

THE SALT ROOM LAUNCHES IN BRIGHTON
In February 2015, the team behind Brighton’s
award-winning The Coal Shed launched their
sister restaurant, The Salt Room right on
Brighton’s seafront. Centred on celebrating the
Fruits of the Sea, The Salt Room will be focused
on delivering the finest seafood to the table.
Located opposite the West Pier, this seaside
dining retreat has uninterrupted sea views that
can be enjoyed from the inside via its glass
fronted windows, and for when the temperatures
rise, outside on its shaded terrace.
The interiors showcase natural materials such
as reclaimed wood and ceramic tiles which

reflect the shoreline and rural landscape that
the restaurant overlooks. Set against an urban
palette of charcoal and white including stripped
back materials, these combine to create a chic
space that blends well with its seaside location.
The large and open restaurant can seat 84 in the
dining room, 16 at the bar and a further 55 on the
terrace which will be fully heated and open from
March to October.
Head chef Dave Mothersill has created a menu
that offers a wide selection of sustainably sourced
seafood dishes including impeccably fresh
cuttlefish, oysters, lobster, seabass and their
signature whole market fish to share, cooked

over charcoal. The legendary Coal Shed
classic – 35-day dry aged Scottish
steaks from the North Highlands cooked
on the Josper grill – will also be making
an appearance.
